Where to go on Fathers Day? Here’s Our Top 5

Need some last minute ideas on where to take Dad? We combed through all the wonderful restaurants in Miami and the surrounding area and were floored by the amount of exciting options. Our editor board had a hard time narrowing down a long list of fabulous places, but here are our Top 5 for this years Father’s Day…

1.) TheForge

Some sayings are indeed true like “Quality prevails”. TheForge is a perfect example of this. Opened more than four decades ago, it has never ceased to amaze its guests – and not just the Steak lovers. For Father’s Day, TheForge is bedazzling our taste buttons with a special tomahawk steak and lobster tail combo. “Yummy” doesn’t even cut it….

2.) The Wharf

The Wharf lights up Brickell with a setting unlike any other in South Florida. The 30,000 sq. ft. open-air special event space welcomes patrons looking to please their palates with some of the most delectable libations and culinary creations in town. Miami’s most sought-after food trucks are on a regular rotation to satisfy eager palates, a rotation of highly acclaimed chefs hosting one-night special engagements curated to please the foodie community and a fish market & raw bar by local seafood favorite Garcia’s. Join for a special Father’s Day celebration with great music and the best of food.

3.) Ferraro’s Kitchen Restaurant & Wine Bar

The winner of the 2017 Diner’s choice awards is not just taking you on a spectacular journey through Italy with their delicious plates for the special occasion. For Father’s Day they give Dad a gift card and a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Like!

4.) Billy’s Stone Crab

Get out of town (but not too far)! Miami’s neighborly friend Hollywood is always worth a ‘sweet escape’. When it comes to a combination of spectacular food and great views, if you haven’t visited it, now is the perfect time. Obviously there must be a good reason why people from all over the USA call in for shipments for these delicious crabs. It is one of those few foods that requires you to literally get “cracking” and tastes best with little to nothing added, although the mustard dressing at Billy’s is the best you can ask for. Their staff likes the dish best with just a squeeze of lemon. Sit back, relax, watch the boats passing by and amp up on some tasty protein.

5) Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink

Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink says it’s “a vibrant neighborhood bistro built on seasonal ingredients and warm, hospitality” and we could not agree more. Some seek it out for the fantastic raw bar with the best oysters, some navigate straight to the pizza oven to have their pizza with a local farm egg on top. It is all so delicious and never a dull moment. We predict Dad will love it.
